Lansinoh nipple cream doesn’t need to be taken off before feeding. I used it until my DS (dear son) stopped breastfeeding last time & going to get some for my hospital bag this time too! Had tried others that were free or trial ones but still preferred the lansinoh even though it’s a bit expensive it does last ages! Xx

Have a look at greenpeople.co.uk all their products are organic and have absolutely no nasty chemicals or fragrances, i.e no lanolin which contains chemicals that are used on the sheeps wool it is derived from. I have the mum and baby rescue balm which can be used for nipple cream and lots of other things!

I’m not sure if you have any appointments with your doctor due but worth asking if you can get it on prescription before the baby arrives - I’m not sure if they’d be allowed but I am sure at my 6 week post birth check up my doctor gave me a free prescription for Lansihoh (the purple one) which is expensive.

I also had 2 wet muslin clothes over a bowl each in the freezer to put on my boobs. They melted and dried in no time but helped cool them down

My girls are only 5 and nearly 4 and I’d almost forgotten all of this!!
